Customer Reviews of Bjork - MTV Unplugged & MTV Live
Pure Ecstasy I have been watching the R2/PAL version of this DVD for a couple weeks now and it is truly excellent.
This DVD features two complete mtv performances. Both shows were recorded in 1994 during the promotion of "post".
Tracks 1-10 MTV unplugged:
human behaviour, one day, come to me, venus as a boy, big time sensuality, violently happy, crying, like someone in love, aeroplane, anchor song
Tracks 11-16 MTV live'n'loud.
you've been flirting again, isobel, human behaviour, bachelorette, joga, pluto
The Unplugged stuff utilizes very unique instrumentation, even for Bjork. At one point I counted eight percussionists playing on one song. There are many musicians involved, tied together by an excellent tabla player featured on every song. Bjork is vibrant and her voice sounds younger and fresher than it does today. The Live and Loud stuff is not as raw, esp. the video presentation, which has gone through more MTV-style post production.
The video quality on the DVD is generally good, but nothing spectacular. The disc I have been watching is only DD 2.0 (stereo), but still sounds great.
Absolutely essential purchase for any Bjork fan!
Bjork was young and skinny...
The Unplugged part is definately worth the money... Bjork was young, skinny and pretty, wearing a short Cyan dress. The performance was spectacular, they played almost all of her songs in the Debut album... I like the plain lighting on the stage. You can see what everyone's doing very well. A group of very talented musicians played for her, they used many interesting music instruments. I kind of wish she could perform "Play dead". Although "Play dead" is in the "1998 Live in Cambridge" DVD, the way she did it in Cambridge is much less powerful than the original. In fact, she sounds kind of odd there.
The 1998 MTV Live is edited like a Music Video. They tried to play some sort of funky effect on the stage (you can see some gold fish floating on their blurry face), but it makes me so dizzy, I can't even stand watching it.
Anyhow, just the Unplugged part only is worth your money. You don't see Bjork performing anything like the way she did back then anymore.
5 stars for Unplugged, 1 for Live&Loud
Woo-hoo! I have to say, I was very excited to watch this CD. I remember watching/listening to "Big Time Sensuality" and thinking to myself "Wow! I wanna be a performer, too!" It also annoyed my family as I was dancing around and singing the tune all day.
Anyhow, the Unplugged section is very, very cool. It features a very young Bjork in an ugly green dress, performing her DEBUT songs with very original instrumentation (including Guy Sigsworth on harpsichord for Human Behaviour!). For sheerly original arrangements, this is the most exciting of the Live DVD series. I would buy it if I were you.
Sadly, not all that glitters is gold. The second section of the DVD, MTV Live&Loud, is just stupid. The sound quality is pretty bad as Bjork's voice can barely be heard, and the screen constantly bombards you with stupid image distortions and images of fish tanks. It's...horrible.
Still, hurray! The Unplugged section is so great, that the DVD still gets 5 stars from me. I recommend this as the second best Bjork DVD choice; second only to Volumen.
